Japanese crossword «Starfish»

I found this quite difficult

Beautifully done. The next step is sometimes limited to only one possibility so it does require patience. I enjoyed it a lot.

Excellent puzzle. I'm learning to consider options when there are very few clues, and propagate them far enough to see if they cause a contradiction. But it is very hard work! And this level of understanding was necessary for this puzzle - and rewarded by a beautiful image.

Very nice!

Good one, quite a challenge for such a small puzzle. You have to think about it. Thanks.

This motive is a bit too frequent on this website. Thanks for the fun of solving, though.

A pretty fast click-through, the image was a disppointment.

I am surprised that this was 3 stars difficulty, I found it quite straight forward - no considering options, just counting, counting, counting! I like the natural look of the picture, not stylised.

Finally I've done one not slower than "average" time: my time is 8:48, "average" is 9 min.
